Overview

Raccoon Tiger Shrimp — Striking Caridina with Bold Banding

Raccoon Tiger Shrimp (Caridina mariae) are a stunning Caridina variety prized for their high-contrast white-and-black banded pattern, resembling a raccoon's tail. They're peaceful, active grazers that add visual drama to any planted tank or shrimp-only setup. While slightly more sensitive than Neocaridina, they're a rewarding choice for aquarists ready to dial in stable water conditions.

Care Guide

  • Tank size: 10 gallons or larger; group of 10+ recommended for breeding colonies
  • Water parameters: Temp 68–76°F, pH 6.2–7.0, GH 4–6, KH 0–2 (soft, slightly acidic water preferred)
  • Diet: Omnivore — biofilm, soft algae, blanched vegetables, and high-quality shrimp pellets. Avoid copper-based foods
  • Tankmates: Best in a species-only tank or with peaceful nano fish (chili rasboras, ember tetras, otocinclus). Avoid all medium and large fish

Why Choose Our Raccoon Tiger Shrimp

  • Live arrival guarantee with fast US shipping

Tank setup

  1. Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding live animals.

Water parameters

  1. Keep ammonia and nitrite at 0 ppm before adding livestock.
  2. Maintain stable temperature and pH instead of chasing exact numbers.
  3. Perform regular water changes based on stocking level.

Feeding

  1. Feed a varied, species-appropriate diet and remove uneaten food promptly.
  2. Avoid overfeeding during the first day after arrival.

Compatibility

Review the product facts and current tank setup before introducing new livestock.
